Description

Technical area

[0001] The present invention relates to a high-voltage DC relay, particularly to a guide mechanism of the movable iron core of the high-voltage DC relay. State of the art

[0002] After the high-voltage DC relay is turned on, the push rod attached to the movable iron core may have a radial displacement relative to the permeability cylinder under the action of magnetic force. That is, the axis of the push rod and the axis of the permeability cylinder may form a certain angle, so that the axis of the movable iron core and the axis of the permeability cylinder also form a certain angle. This results in the friction force between the movable iron core and the push rod and the inner wall of the permeability cylinder increasing during the upward and downward movement of the movable iron core and the push rod. On the one hand, this will lead to a reduction in the sensitivity of the relay and an untimely response; on the other hand, it will lead to an increase in the power consumption of the relay, and even cause the relay to be burned out and lose its effectiveness.
